This is the classic Mac vs PC argument. Nothing more, nothing less. Macs are less "customizable" and many want to "mess with their PC". If that is your liking, go with any one of the many flavors of Android. App market is not as mature. Performance across phones for various makers/flavors of Android and carriers differ.
